deck wise if you want slightly shorter, a misfortune is a shorter narrower fortune 33.5 x 9.25 inches with a 24.75 inch skateboard wheelbase a loaded truncated tesseract is 33 x 9.5 inches with a 26 inch skateboard wheelbaseā¦
neither have a flat base, but both are awesome decks.
hi5ber have a narrow/smaller DH deck the rebel but it is still 35 inchesā¦
Iād go with the trucated tesseract, Iām thinking of adding one to my quiverā¦

Rayne Brightside 
but for length it is 2 inches longer than the Loaded Truncated Tesseract and the wheel base is 3.5 inches shorter?
in the comp. of bolt holes closest to nose & tail the trunc. tess. wins no?
(& 9.25 width is just too narrow for me)

Truncated is only 1 inch shorter than the brightside(34"). But you can drill the front and tail for more wheelbase easily
Either wayā¦ Thereās options out thereā¦ didnāt mean to step on toes @Cobber.

no toes squashed bro, I just canāt āthinkā of a deck with truck mounts closer to the nose and tailā¦
please prove me wrong dude? 
and as I said 9.25 is too narrow for my cave man feet so I am biased

Iām very happy with my Landyacht Mummyboard . Turns on a dime, no wheel bite, nice grip. 15lbs all in, 10s2p battery, single motor.
The Powell-Peralta Lance Mountain Resissue is short (30.5") but has a huge tail and a long wheelbase and is rather stable at high-speed
Nice! I just received my Powell Peralta Mike McGil reissue! Iām pairing that with the 10s5p from DIYEboard, which should arrive soon. Iāll share the build when I have more of it together. So glad you mentioned the Lance Mountain option, it encouraged me to look into an old/new PP board like I use to ride as a kid back in the 80s. BTW, the McGil has one of the longest wheelbases in the PP reissue line at 16.625". The longest is the Jay Smith at 17.25" (https://www.skateone.com/powell-peralta-jay-smith-model-reissue-white-skateboard-deck-10-x-30-25)
If u have some money and want a high quality build thatās a bit shorter Iād take a look at this boi (https://www.sickboards.nl/en/longboards/10417-bossa-platform-28-rio-deck-only.html#/232-flex-light) Iāve been neglecting to ebordify it because I like kickpushing it so much XD.

That Powell-Peralta Bones Brigade Mike McGill Skull and Snake is the best or one of the best decks in the world for esk8, in my opinion. The Powell-Peralta Bones Brigade Lance Mountain Future Primitive is pretty close or equalā¦
The super-wide front, put some traditional kingpin trucks on there and those are stable even up to high speeds ā and theyāre shortboards with big tails that are super-easy to carry. What else could you ask for? I have those and tailless longboards and those are better by far.
@sk8l8r swears by the Lush Machine deck which I have yet to try but it looks dopeā¦

The front of that Bossa is dope af, maybe even more than the Mike McGill Skull and Snake, but the lack of a huge tail is a missed opportunity and a deal-breaker. (Yes, I see the short tail that probably doesnāt even really work to pick up a 20+ lb board.)

Awesome. Yeah, it is super wide, and has a nice concave. Itās deep which might challenge attaching the enclosure, but others have used extra foam, which Iāll try as well. I just installed my Tail Bone tonight and it looks so cool! I ordered an authentic old school nose guard also, and went crazy with a new helmet and some light elbow and knee pads. I canāt wait!

Yeah Iāll have to agree with you there. Although we should note itās original intention, which is not to be a short board deck at all, so that may be why has missed the ball there (itās playing a whole different game). My favorite part would definitely be the flex. That is something ill-found in the shortboard market. All in all maybe not what your looking for but interesting nonetheless
